Her Excellency Shaikha Dr Hessa bint Khalid Al Khalifa, Member of the Board of Directors of the Olympic Committee and Head of the Gender Equal Opportunities Committee in Sports, expressed her gratitude for the unwavering support provided to Bahraini women by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, may Allah protect and preserve him, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, may Allah protect him, and Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of His Majesty the King and President of the Supreme Council for Women. Their unwavering commitment to empowering Bahraini women and fostering their active participation in all fields is truly commendable.   

On the occasion of Bahraini Women's Day, celebrated annually on December 1st, Her Excellency Shaikha Dr Hessa bint Khalid Al Khalifa extended her heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to the wise leadership of the Kingdom of Bahrain and to all Bahraini women. She commended their pioneering role and dedicated efforts in contributing to the nation's development and prosperity. She emphasised that this special day is an opportunity to recognise the outstanding achievements of Bahraini women across diverse fields, including sports, highlighting their crucial role in shaping the future of the Kingdom.

She emphasised that Bahraini women have consistently demonstrated their exceptional abilities and innovative spirit through their active participation in all sectors, both in the professional realm and in their invaluable roles as mothers and educators of generations. In recent years, Bahraini women have achieved remarkable successes that reflect their ambitious nature and high capabilities. In the field of sports, Bahraini women have made significant contributions and achieved numerous accolades as leaders, champions, administrators, trainers, and judges. This progress is largely attributed to the patronage and support of His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of His Majesty the King for Charity Works and Youth Affairs, Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, and His Highness Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, Chairman of the General Sports Authority, and President of the Olympic Committee.
